There is one problem. If a God was doing this, wouldn't it take 7 days rather than several millions of years?

God is everywhere. Scientists aren't perfect. They are imperfect human beings just like all the rest of us, who make mistakes............

God is in control of this, but there is no proof that this is the birth of an earth-like planet. The theorists who purport that the universe is millions of years old can make such statements, but cannot back up their statements. Carbon dating techniques are use to 'prove' the age of fossils is extremely faulted. These people refuse to take into account Noah's flood which has a drastic affect on the accuracy of carbon dating past 4000 years ago.
Scientists can also make these statements because there is no one who will live long enough to disprove what they claim.

Have you seen a tree grow? How long does it take to grow?
Everything is programmed to function optimally. Plants do not have brains but flower and bring out fruit when their time comes. Even the cells in the body 'know' when to do what.
Just as the fruits contain seeds, there are seeds of planets and stars in the universe in the form of giant interstellar hydrogen clouds. But you will not find life there. You can check it out. It's only 424 light-years away!

Because there's no need to rush, when God made the first Earth it took 7 days because there was nothing. Now there that we're living on Earth packed up with life the second Earth is no need to rush. Maybe God is waiting till Mankind gets a space thing that allows us to move to this new Earth.

God is everywhere. He is right there with you, holding your hand and whispering in your ear.. telling you that He loves you even though you don't believe in Him. You cannot hear him because you don't have faith.
But one day, there will come a time when you'll be needing God. Maybe not now... but pretty soon. =) Then you shall realize that there is a God after all.

The literal interpretation of a day...probably meant something entirely different to God and He functions OUTSIDE of time anway. There is no past present or future with God. Things just ARE.
how hard is that to 'comprehend'?

Unbiased answer, because I'm agnostic, but most people believe that the Bible should not be taken literally. 7 days probably did not literally mean seven days. A lot of the Bible seems to be metaphorical.

Ah ha! But which "God" are we talking about?
Allah (Islam) or Pan Ku (Chinese) or Atum (Egyptian)?
Most of them supposedly took longer than 7 days to create. Most likely it's one of the Hindu gods. They like to create again.... and again.....and again ;-)

The problem with trying to reconcile science with the Bible is that it reduces science to fit myth. Why do that at all?

God is here and every where.
The concept of time we have as human is not the same time concept of God the Creator.

When the Bible stated that the world was created in seven days, they did not mean it literally. In the Bible (Genesis), one "day" meant many years.
